We love Christmas. It's the only time of the year we can stuff our faces with mince pies and drink copious amounts of booze without feeling guilty.

Well, not as guilty as we normally would.

That's not the best thing about Christmas, though. You see, it's now become common practice for game developers to release festive-themed updates for their iPhone, iPad, and Android apps every December.

We've just spent a few minutes scouring the App Store and Google Play in search of these updates. We'll add more to the list below as we find them.

Think of this article as our Christmas gift to you. No problem.

Angry Birds Seasons(iPhone, iPad, Android)

This Winter Wonderham update features 25 all-new levels set in a chilly snow-covered wonderland under the aurora borealis.

Just like last year, these stages are hidden behind doors on a giant pig-filled advent calendar. Each day, you're allowed to open a door and play the level behind it.

Tiny Tower (iPhone, iPad, Android)

You can now add holiday-themed apartments and other floors to your ever-growing tower in NimbleBit's build-'em-up.

You can also watch as pixel-art Santa and his elves drop by to use your spa and other facilities.

This Subway Surfers update includes a new stage - Snowy Winter Wonderland - several new boards, and a new Elf Tricky character.

The game's developer, Kiloo, has also taken this opportunity to add support for the iPhone 5's and fifth-gen iPod touch's 4-inch Retina display.

Scribblenauts Remix (iPhone, iPad)

With this fairly small Xmas-themed update, the game's creator has refreshed the game's App Store icon and added a new winter playground to proceedings.

There's also a "Goodie and Baddies" avatar pack, but that's about it.The Big Big Castle! (iPad)

Your mission in this Christmas-themed update is to erect 100ft, 500ft, and 1,000ft forts using tasty gingerbread, presents, and candy canes (rather than stone and other 'traditional' building materials).

What could possibly go wrong?

The Simpsons: Tapped Out (iPhone, iPad)

It's time to turn Springfield into a festive wonderland.

This update introduces limited-edition characters like Santa Homer; new buildings such as Santa's Village; and plenty of sparkly lights and decorations.

You know, Christmas trees and kiddie rides, and that sort of thing.

Rayman Jungle Run (iPhone, iPad)

French publisher Ubisoft has decided that you all deserve a gift this year. Yeah, even you, you naughty boy. It's updated its excellent auto-run platformer with ten new levels.
